Zachary
Sweet Zachary came to us after he was hit by a car with his paw left untreated for a WEEK. He suffered multiple broken bones in his foot, that were able to heal in a splint. Zachary was in need of a foster home to quietly recover from his injuries. Zachary’s recovery is largely owed to our determined staff and his outstanding medical foster.
From his foster:
“Today I dropped sweet Zach back at Dorchester Paws so he could have more exposure to potential adopters. He’s done remarkably well physically and was already well adjusted psychologically that I thought the timing was in his best interest. I cried when I woke up and saw his beautiful face staring at me and again when I left him at the shelter. Zach’s past abuse is horrific yet when he sits in your lap and looks up at you he only sees love. Please consider fostering or adopting. Your heart requires it.”
When he came through the doors of Dorchester Paws, Braveheart was very sick. He had an upper respiratory infection, was severely emaciated and very dehydrated. Clinic staff started him on IV fluids and a round of antibiotics to save his life. To recover, he needed a foster hero. That wonderful individual took him into her home and fell in love with Braveheart. He ended up being adopted by his foster and now lives happily in his forever home!
Clover came to Dorchester Paws as a small puppy with the rest of her litter. We later found out that she had a grade 5/6 PDA heart murmur. Her spay surgery was delayed due to the heart murmur, but she was adopted by her foster! Clover wasn’t expected to live past 2 years old. Luckily, she is now awaiting heart surgery with a specialist to fix the murmur!
